I recently received an "Invalid argument while reading flags on" problem while deleting files in a Linux system.

I cannot delete some (very big files) on a Linux filesystem. I don't know what to do!

As it was suggested, I did:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

added: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes" and then, I ran update-grub.

My HDD is not mounted automatically at boot. I didn't see that fsck checked it at all.

DISKS utility find data on that HDD as NTFS. How I can check its filesystem integrity without using Windows?

  • Use fsck to repair those file system errors. For more information on how to use it, refer to this post

  • @Rayleigh Do not link other web sites when unneeded, please. Look on our site, there already is my question addressing this at boot time, which is what he / she needs.

  • @Rayleigh i faced a problem. fsck says cannot check my (gpt) drive due to bad magic block. I run gdrive and says all ok. What I can do now?

As of 15Jul2020, there is no option to check filesystem integrity of a Hard disk formatted as NTFS under Linux.

What I did?

  • I downloaded the free trial of Windows Enterprise as ISO
  • sudo apt-get remove virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox*
  • Install the latest Virtualbox from here
  • Download the matched version of Virtualbox extpack
  • Add to disk group, me, as user, due to access deny hard disk error
    • sudo usermod -a -G disk $USER
    • sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER
  • Run sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
  • Run VirtualBox, and add Virtualbox extpack at File -> Preferences -> Extentions
  • Restart your Computer
  • Create a link to your physical Hard Disk which is NTFS (either usb or not) using VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "</path/to/file>.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sdX
  • Create Machine -> New -> Windows 10 (64bit) (whatever match) -> Create a Virtual Disk
  • Attach the Downloaded Windows Enterprise Free trial ISO image
  • At your newly created Virtual Windows Image --> preferences -> Storage -> attach the vmdk image of your ntfs hdd
  • It may fail. Dont worry. To me failed too. I refer to it, because I found it. It may work for you.
  • Go to Virtual Windows Image --> preferences -> USB, check USB 3, add your NTFS HDD
  • Run your Virtual "Windows Enterprize Free Trial" machine.
  • Click Continue, Repair your computer (at left down side), Troubleshooting, Run Command Prompt
  • Go to your disk by writing eg. C:
  • Check that it is your disk somehow eg. dir
  • Run chkdsk /f when you are on your disk

This process fixed my NTFS filesystem that it was fault. I hope it helpt you too.

If you find any easier solution, only under Linux, please post it.
